Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1768: Return to Beijing

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang really showed age discrimination here; Bei Yun isn’t immune to aging, and who knows how long he can keep up that youthful face. Even if there truly exists a hidden Aristocratic Family, even if that family has a genius daughter, why on earth would they marry her off to Bei Yun, a man old enough to be her father, or even her grandfather?

Father, grandfather.

These two words nearly enraged Bei Yun to death—who ridicules someone like this?!

In the past, he was a beast; it was only in recent years that he evolved into a human. If you measure based on how long he’s been “human,” he’s practically still a child!

He’s still a child!

This absurd reasoning disgusted Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang to no end. Still a child? Seriously?

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang immediately abandoned their idea of finding a life partner for him. Children can’t get married, so let him remain single forever.

When they reached the southern region with its three small countries, Yang Wenxiao made a special trip to Yuchi Prefecture.

Under the administration of Ailiusa and Shen Bai, Yuchi Prefecture was developing steadily. The paddy fields yielded three harvests a year, vegetation thrived, and the people led fairly decent lives.

Yang Wenxiao personally inspected the situation in Yuchi Prefecture and then issued an order to restore Shen Bai’s freedom. The initial agreement had been that, as long as Shen Bai governed Yuchi Prefecture well, his crimes would be pardoned. Now that Shen Bai had produced a satisfactory result, Yang Wenxiao fulfilled his promise.

With his freedom restored, Shen Bai agreed to Ailiusa’s proposal.

In this pair, it’s always been Ailiusa actively pursuing and persevering; after years of persistent effort, Shen Bai finally nodded.

As Shen Bai nodded, Yang Wenxiao stayed to officiate their wedding. Shen Chenghao’s crimes of rebellion remained unforgivable, and the other members of the Shen Family were still imprisoned, but Shen Bai was granted special exemption.

After attending Ailiusa and Shen Bai’s wedding, representatives from the Capital City arrived to hand over duties to Ailiusa and Shen Bai. Both wished only to retire and live secluded lives, and given their unique circumstances, they voluntarily resigned from their official positions to avoid causing resentment within the Yang Family.

After staying in Yuchi Prefecture for two months, Yang Wenxiao and his entourage hit the road again, traveling along the bluestone road across Daqi and finally following the canal back to the Capital City.

This journey lasted two full years. Never before had Yang Wenxiao observed so closely the lands he had conquered with his own hands. Upon returning to the Capital City, he repeatedly declared that it had all been worth it—that his life had not been lived in vain, that it truly was good.

After returning to the Palace, Emperor Yongan announced his abdication. Having survived the poisoning by Hell’s Blossom, he had come to appreciate the essence of life and found joy in living. Now, Yang Hao was in his prime—this was the right time to pass on the throne so that he could fully embrace the pleasures of life.

At this time, Gu Zhen and Gu Xin were already five years old and could endure long journeys. Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang decided to head west in search of cotton.

This was the last significant act they could think of to benefit the nation and its people. Once they brought back cotton, they could truly retire and live out their days in peace.

However, Qiao Xiaomai was Yang Wenxiao’s personal chef; wherever Yang Wenxiao went, she had to follow. Yang Wenxiao’s advanced age made it difficult for him to endure the bumps and strains of travel, so after much discussion, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang decided to administer another drop of Divine Liquid for Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao truly was aging—no matter how good his mindset was or how much his daily intake of Spiritual Spring water replenished his body, the passage of time weighed heavily on him. Even stone cannot resist the erosion of time—how much less, then, could a mortal? Without the vitalizing effects of Spiritual Spring water, he would surely age visibly, day by day.

This was not the kind of decline Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang wished to witness.

One drop of Divine Liquid would extend his vitality for another ten years without issue.
